Ivan Lam

Artist's statement

"My art is no longer bounded by the shackles of consumer culture. It is never about the process of painting but the thought behind the paint. I am using any medium I see fit to convey my concept/idea. The work I do reflect my surroundings and the state of thinking that I am in. The question of meaning in my work is futile for my art encompasses everything and nothing at the same time. I no longer seek truths in my work but only constant negotiations of boundaries between art and life. My work is not about the struggle to conflate everyday life and art. My work is to not to seek answers but to rather ask questions. By stating what is it not I am affirming what is it about my work. It is through this dichotomy my work still exists."
